System health monitoring through event logs

Unplanned System downtime is always an unwanted event that can be anywhere from a minor nuisance to a major catastrophe. When restoring the system, a lot of costly effort is expended trying to find out why it went down in the first place. GFI EventsManager™ proactively helps to detect which events portend disaster, such as potential hardware failures, and provides an early warning to give you the power to take corrective action, before the crash! We will also detect events patterns to help you to implement preventive maintenance.

Using GFI EventsManager, you can proactively monitor your mission-critical servers including Microsoft ISA Server, Exchange Server, SQL Server and IIS to prevent network disasters. For example, you can monitor email queues, SMTP gateways, MAPI availability, bad hard disk blocks, disk space, and more. GFI EventsManager ships with a pre-defined set of rules that allows you to start monitoring event logs right out of the box.

Why use GFI EventsManager for system health monitoring?

  • Receive an early warning sign of hardware failure and avoids business continuity disruptions
  • Employ manpower and use time more profitably due to automatic log management that does not require manual log checking
  • Acquire meaningful network health status event logs and convert this data into meaningful reports for technical staff
  • Reduce administrative and technical overheads required to manage and archive event logs.

      One to consider for almost any SIEM project

      "GFI Software is one of the smaller vendors in the SIEM market. However, size doesn't matter if you build quality into a product like GFI has done with its GFI EventsManager 2012. All things considered, GFI EventsManager proves to be very apt at what it is designed for, managing events driven by the SIEM methodology. Strong reporting tools and an interactive GUI round out the product, making it one to consider for most any SIEM project" – SC Magazine, April 2012
